Player Ratings
Loris Karius – 6.5
Made a decent save in the first half. Wasn’t heavily tested, but remained composed, dealing with everything he needed to. Tried to move the ball quickly to start attacks.

Joe Gomez – 6
Made a good block in the latter stages of the game, in what was a game where he wasn’t tested too much down the left hand side.
Joel Matip – 6.5
A much improved performance. Dealt with business at the back, and looked to move the ball quickly into midfield and down the flanks.
Dejan Lovren – 6.5
Solid performance on his return to the side. Dealt with everything he needed to. Won any aerial duels to clean up at the back.
Andrew Robertson – 7
Given a lot of space to exploit down the left hand side. Always pushing to create opportunities and put balls into the attackers.

Emre Can – 7.5
More of a commanding midfield performance from the German. Helped control the flow of the side, with a hand in multiple chances. Also got his own goal to open the scoring with a deflected strike.
Jordan Henderson – 7
A strong return for the skipper, in his first start in 2018. Looked relatively sharp and composed. Helped control the midfield completely.
James Milner – 7
Solid all round from Milner. Calmed proceedings down, helping to orchestrate the pace of Liverpool’s play throughout the match.

Sadio ManĂ© – 5.5
A mixed performance from ManĂ©, as he still struggles to hit the heights that he’s capable of. Couldn’t capitalise on two second half headed opportunities, but did play a key role in the lead up to Firmino’s goal with his delicate flick.
Mohamed Salah – 7.5
Always posing a threat with his pace and strength. Gets his goal from the penalty spot – his 26th goal of the season.
Roberto Firmino – 8
Scores an outrageously clever goal to end the first half and put the Reds two goals up. Always looking to move the ball and create opportunities.
Subs
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (83) – N/A
Georginio Wijnaldum (83) – N/A
Dominic Solanke (88) – N/A
All three substitutes came on too late to make an impact on the game.
